Body Oasis Laser Aesthetics Treats New Pedigree of Client in 2011

(PRWEB) May 03, 2011

It?s not just the women in their 50s and 60s looking for the fountain of youth who are seeking laser treatments. At Body Oasis Laser Aesthetics medical spa, a new breed of men and women in their 20s, 30s, and 40s have discovered the benefits of laser therapy to improve their quality of life. At our medi-spa, we have found these newcomers to our practice to be excited about the breakthroughs in laser for altogether different reasons.

Laser hair removal has become very popular with the younger demographic as more men and women want their hair gone forever. The idea of shaving daily, not being able to wear a bikini without razor burn and the never ending teasing so many men get about their hairy backs has them flocking to our laser treatment center. Many men avoid shaving their necks because of their fear of causing small ingrown hairs and folliculitis. Laser hair removal is a welcome relief to the twenty/thirty set who want hairless, smooth skin and who see shaving as a waste of time and are willing and able to afford the upfront cost of a lifetime free of this chore.

At Body Oasis Laser Spa we have two state-of-the-art hair removal lasers: the Light Sheer Duet for lighter skin shades and the GentleYAG hair removal system for people of color. Both are painless and are fast and effective compared to older lasers. Certified laser tech, Lisa Ramirez notes, ?We have many more calls and walk-in clients than ever before, now that we offer two treatment rooms and two lasers to treat all skin types?.

Another recent trend we are seeing is younger clients coming to us for laser tattoo removal. Men and women in their thirties are spending the money to remove the regret tattoos they thought were ?cool? when they were in their twenties. ?Tattoos are more popular today than ever. I expect our tattoo removal business to increase 70% in the next five years because of all those young people who got tattoos and who are now going out into the work place and are finding they are passed over for jobs because of tattoo placement,? comments Maureen Brogan, Spa Coordinator for Body Oasis.

Our Palomar Q-YAG laser emits a focused beam of laser light, which passes harmlessly through the outer layer of the skin and is absorbed by the tattoo ink. As a result, there is no scarring, yet the laser beam fractures the tattoo ink into tiny particles that are carried away by the lymphatic system. Treatments are spaced six to eight weeks apart to give your body sufficient time to fully clear the ink. Most patients see significant lightening after the first treatment but tattoos may need up to ten treatments or more for complete clearance.

We have also seen an increase in clients in their late teens and twenties seeking removal of birthmarks, scars and stretch marks. Fractional laser resurfacing is the ideal treatment for these conditions. This laser is primarily used for rejuvenation of the face, neck and chest for our 50 years and up clients who have spent too much time in the sun. ?The fractional CO2 laser works miracles for removal of sun spots, fine wrinkles and lax eyelid skin, but we are using this technology for problems we see with the younger generation and it has exceeded our expectations of what this laser can do,? observes Robin Fleck, M.D., medical director of Body Oasis Laser Aesthetics. ?By stimulating dermal collagen growth, this laser improves skin tone and texture, plumps the skin and improves discoloration.?

Another procedure which is gaining currency with the younger age group is Botox injections. As these men and women decide to ?freshen up? before a big event, the 20 to 30 age group are having these treatments done now so they never get the smile lines or surprised forehead and the scowl most people see after years of squinting. They don?t ever want to look like their mothers or dads so Botox or Dysport is an easy choice for them. In addition, Botox is well-known to stop underarm sweating completely for up to a year and younger professionals are having this simple office treatment to avoid embarrassing stains on their clothing. Recently Botox has also been successful in treating the symptoms of TMJ (temporomandibular joint pain, headache, teeth clenching and wear) associated with stress or malocclusion of the teeth. Teens and twenty-year-olds are opting for Botox rather than night mouth guards to avoid the debilitating and costly wearing down of their teeth.

A prime directive at Body Oasis Laser medical spa is to educate our patients about the causes of skin disorders and the proper care of the skin. A serious problem among the younger clients involves the frequent use of tanning beds. Most feel it makes them look healthier to have tanned skin; however, statistics prove that tanning beds cause skin cancer from the ultraviolet light emitted by tanning lamps, and more carcinoma is being diagnosed in this age group than ever before. We also let them know that the sun is responsible for 90% of premature skin aging caused by thinning of the epidermis, collagen and elastin breakdown in the dermis, damage to melanin and blood vessels in the skin and damage to cellular DNA and protein. Once educated, many of our clients decide to forego the use of tanning beds and start using aging-prevention methods such as topical vitamin C serum and protective clothing.

Body Oasis Laser Aesthetics Announces New Treatment Available for Melasma, Scars, Age Spots and Birth Marks

Prescott, AZ (PRWEB) June 07, 2011

Robin Fleck, MD, board-certified dermatologist, founder and medical director of Body Oasis Aesthetics in Prescott, Arizona is pleased to add new treatments to Body Oasis? growing repertoire. Dr. Fleck has recently begun treating several types of skin conditions with excellent results. With expensive, major cosmetic overhauls on the decline in a struggling economy, more affordable, less dramatic solutions such as cosmetic lasers are increasing in popularity. Body Oasis has always been at the forefront of providing the most innovative and advanced skin treatment for its clients in Northern Arizona.

There are many skin and color aberrations that in the past were incurable or only treatable through the use of complicated surgical methods that left a patient incapacitated for a long period of time. Body Oasis is now able to offer better skin treatments, with the use of a laser, that are less invasive and produce faster results.

Melasma is a dark skin discoloration that appears on sun-exposed areas of the face. It is especially common in pregnant women, women who are taking birth control pills and women taking hormone replacement therapy. Melasma is of great cosmetic concern to its sufferers. A blotchy uneven pigmentation is usually seen over the cheeks, forehead, nose, or upper lip. To date, no treatment has been found to cure this condition. Dr. Fleck now treats melasma with the Active FX Fractional CO2 laser. With one easy painless treatment skin will be smooth, vibrant and fresh. Maintenance of the lightened skin is just as simple with treatments of the QYAG laser every six months. Nightly use of the prescription hydroquinone cream ensures even longer lasting results.

Dr. Fleck also recently began treating scars. Scars anywhere on the body can be remodeled without surgery using the Active FX CO2 Laser. The Active FX laser provides uniform clinical effect with minimal damage to surrounding healthy tissue. This laser stimulates formation of new underlying collagen to continue improvement of the scar over time.

Lentigines, also known as age spots, usually clear quickly with treatment by the QYAG laser. QYAG laser is used for removal of brown age spots on the face, chest, hands and arms. QYAG targets aging and sun damaged skin by zeroing in on damaged tissue. This laser targets each individual spot and causes the pigment to turn white and then slowly slough off leaving healthy normal colored skin in its place. Most age spots require only one treatment.

Brown birthmarks such as cafe au lait spots, Becker's nevus, Nevus of Ota and nevus spilus have also been found by Dr. Fleck to respond to laser therapy. By using short high-powered bursts of energy with fractional laser or QYAG technology, the pigment associated with the birthmarks breaks down and the body can then remove the excess pigment, returning the skin to its normal tone. Some birthmarks may take only 2-3 treatments, while some may take more laser treatments to respond. The laser treatments normally last between fifteen and 30 minutes. Although there may be some discomfort during treatment, there is no down time after the procedures. You will be able to return directly to work.

Because laser surgery does not require any incisions, there are no sutures and no bleeding. Additionally, there is very little pain or swelling involved with the procedure. Laser skin treatments do not require the same amount of healing time as traditional procedures, so you will be able to return to your normal activities much more quickly after your procedure.

"I think more people are choosing laser procedures because the rejuvenation is noticeable and lasting. It doesn't take long to perform a laser treatment - usually less than an hour and with the latest advances in laser technology, laser treatments are now very safe and effective for rejuvenation and clearing brown and red pigmentation," explains Maureen Brogan, Body Oasis spa coordinator and laser technician. "For those who may not be ready for invasive surgery or who want to improve their complexion, laser treatments can be a great move."

"Patients who undergo any type of cosmetic surgeries can require ten days to two weeks to recover," notes Dr. Robin Fleck, founder and medical director of Body Oasis. "Today, women lead fast-paced lives, and juggle families and careers and often don't want to put their lives on hold for an aesthetic procedure. Additionally, it can be difficult to be discreet about having work done when procedures require extensive time to heal. Our patients love our laser treatments because it gives them the results they want and the ability to get back to their families, jobs and daily routines quickly."

By offering advanced treatments such as Q-YAG and Active FX Laser, Body Oasis Spa has once again shown its commitment to provide the latest cosmetic treatments at affordable prices. The medical spa also offers a wide range of specials every month. With excellent online reviews and testimonials, Body Oasis is the top choice when it comes to skin treatments in Northern Arizona.

Nude Therapies Aims to Solve Consumer Dissatisfaction in Body Products

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) November 02, 2011

A recent survey conducted by Mintel shows consumers are widely displeased with their body products, indicating a large gap between product claims and customer experience. A new cosmeceutical body line, Nude Therapies by Rhonda Allison Cosmeceuticals, aims to change the results by using the same effective ingredients found in face care products.

According to Rhonda Allison, founder and CEO of Rhonda Allison Cosmeceuticals, the dissatisfaction could be a result of ineffective levels of high-quality, active ingredients, but advances in science could provide the results many consumers are searching for.

The Mintel report, which focused specifically on moisturizers, showed that 79 percent of users wish their lotions lasted longer; nearly half of them said their skin continues to feel dry, even immediately after applying the product. This report comes on the heels of a similar report issued by Mintel last year that revealed 31 percent of women in the U.S. distrust the claims of anti-aging products.

?Many over-the-counter moisturizers and anti-aging body products fail to provide hydration either because the skin isn?t exfoliated regularly or because the formula lacks the active ingredients necessary to restore the skin,? Allison said. ?When skin is not properly exfoliated it keeps beneficial ingredients from absorbing into the skin. Often, too, the products lack adequate levels of high-quality active ingredients.?

Regular exfoliation is a critical component of skin care. Exfoliating the body promotes cell turnover, helps remove the dead outer layers of skin, and paves the way for beneficial ingredients and nutrients to work into the cells.

?Proper cleansing and exfoliation provide the foundation for healthy skin care regimens,? Allison said. ?It initiates deep stimulation, in essence breaking the skin down to allow skin-building and nourishing ingredients to penetrate deep into the dermis. Intelligent ingredients ? those enhanced by scientific advancements ? build upon that foundation.?

Ingredients like alpha hydroxyl acids, salicylic, L-lactic, oleic and linoleic acids, and retinol, which are found in the Nude Therapies Ultra Exfole and Peel Cream combine exfoliation and peeling to enhance hydration and rejuvenation. They also address other skin issues including hyperpigmentation, keratosis pilaris, acne, aging, dull form, slack skin and cellulite bumping.

?To actually see results from body care products, it is essential for exfoliation to be followed with high-quality skin-nourishing and fortifying ingredients,? Allison added. ?This includes organic plant stem cells, growth factors, peptides, amino acids, and antioxidants, to name a few. The goal is to treat the body with the same ingredients typically reserved for facial care products.?

Nourishing formulas like the Nude Therapies Bio Reform 28 and Energizing Peptide Spritz support healthy capillary blood flow, improve oxygenation, plumps, firms, and rejuvenates the skin by improving cellular communication and tissue growth activation.

?A skin-care regimen that includes exfoliation, peeling and powerful age-reversal formulations like Bio Reform 28 provides an effective way to achieve youthful, supple, polished skin, and often times can serve as an alternative to costly invasive procedures,? Allison said.

High-quality intelligent ingredients that have shown to produce results include:

-->Organic stem cells, which are extracted from plant and apple stem cells and have the ability to promote longevity in human cells

-->New-generation peptides, like palmitoyl tetrapeptide and oligopeptide work to improve tissue elasticity and firmness while stimulating collagen production

-->Matrix Metalloproteinase Enzyme Inhibitor Complex, which reduces activity of enzymes that destroy and degrade the skin?s collagen network

-->Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF), an essential protein that accelerates cell regeneration

-->Bellis Perennis (Daisy Flower), the polyphenol-rich lightener that inhibits excess melanin and lightens the skin surface

These ingredients are also found in the Rhonda Allison Nude Therapies Body line. For more information visit, http://www.rhondaallison.com/Nude_Therapies.
